About Crypto & VDA Tax Filing
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Crypto, NFTs and other virtual digital assets are taxed at a flat 30% plus cess on each transfer, with only the cost deductible and no set-off of losses. Every transfer is reported in Schedule VDA of ITR-2 or ITR-3, and the 1% TDS deducted by Indian exchanges must match your AIS. Trades on foreign exchanges are still taxable, and holdings there may need foreign asset disclosure.
The tax department receives exchange data and TDS records, and mismatches between AIS and the return are a frequent source of notices. We reconcile trade-level data from each exchange and wallet against AIS before filing.
Swaps between tokens, payments in crypto, airdrops and staking rewards each need specific treatment; we document the basis used so it can be defended.
